After the Long Silence offers a ground-breaking, meticulously
researched criticism of Brazilian contemporary performance created
by its post-dictatorship generation, whose work expresses the
consequences of decades of state-imposed censorship. By offering an
in-depth examination of key artists and their works, Claudia
Tatinge Nascimento highlights Brazil's political trajectory while
never allowing the weight of historical events to offset key
aesthetic trends. Brazilian theater artists born around the time of
the nation's 1964 military coup experienced the oppressive rule of
dictatorship throughout their formative years, but came of age as
Brazil re-entered democracy some two decades later. This book
showcases how the post-dictatorship generation developed
performances that mapped the uncharted territories of Brazil's
political trauma with new dramaturgies, site-specific and street
productions, and aesthetic experimentation. The author's in-depth
research into a wide array of archival materials and publications
in both Portuguese and English demonstrates how the artistic
practices of significant post-dictatorship artists such as Cia. dos
Atores, Teatro da Vertigem, Grupo Galpao, Os Fofos Encenam, and
Newton Moreno were driven by critical thinking and a postcolonial
sentiment, proving symptomatic of the nation's shift from an ethos
of half-truth telling into a transitional justice that fell short
in affirming citizenship. Ideal for scholars of the intersection of
theatre and politics, After the Long Silence: The Theater of
Brazil's Post-Dictatorship Generation offers insight into the
function of theater in times of political turmoil and artmaking
practices that emerge in response to oppressive regimes.
